Train Your Brain: Neurofeedback, Trauma + Peak Performance with Angie Noack
Your brain is your best asset. So why do most of us treat it last?
In this episode, I sit down with Angie Noack, licensed professional counselor and Sr. VP at Brain Code Centers, for a conversation that started before we even hit record, with an actual brain map of my brain.
Angie fractured her skull at 19 donating blood. Spent weeks in the ICU. Was released in a walker. Reversed her own severe anxiety and panic attacks through neurofeedback. And built her entire career around helping other people do the same.
She believes you are not beholden to what you were born with. Your brain is neuroplastic. It is capable of change and neurofeedback is the hardware-level work that no amount of supplements, meditation, or cold plunging can replace.
This one gets specific and personal, including what Angie saw in my own brain scan.
Tune in!
